NHLR's Bourdais in Running for ESPN's Driver of the Decade

Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing driver and four-time Champ Car champion
Sebastien Bourdais is among nine drivers in the running for ESPN's Driver
of the Decade, which will be awarded on Jan. 11 based on a vote from
their panel of experts.

Bourdais was the first open wheel or NASCAR driver to ever win four
consecutive titles (2004, 2005, 2006 & 2007). Overall, four in a row is
very rare in professional sports in general. In his five seasons in
Champ Car, he went from Rookie of the Year to four-time champion and
amassed 31 wins and 31 poles (42.4 percent each) as well as led a total
of 2,103 laps out of a possible 6,905.
